June 11: Mendy’s Birthday!

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Our housemate Mendy has been asking the house artists for little biographical stories starring her alter ego for quite some time. This year it all came together and Aaron Bir and I collaborated on this book of Forever Kitty Tails:

I made the short stories at the beginning and end, and Aaron made the long one in the middle with the big bad wolf.

Other birthday wonderments included such a fancy teaparty as has not been seen in a whole year, a pretty-pretty invite illustrated by yours truly and colored by the house kitties, and a tophat with fanciful flowers all made from duct-tape (per maker extraordinaire Marshall Vaughan).

June 03: utility belts

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

Girlie clothes are notorious in their lack of pockets, and the pendulous nature of purses impedes dancing. So what’s a girl out on the town (or more likely at a drum circle in the woods) to do? Why, utility belts of course! Now with bonus tassels for extra shaking effect!


Since I can’t really sew, I’ve been making them out of cargo pants with interesting fun things sewn on.
